This Week on GRadio

More than two years into the current phase of Israel’s erasure of Palestinian life and there seems no stopping the genocide. But, the worst of it is not our inability to stop the cruelty, or arrest the criminality of the rogue state from Canada, or the United States, or the many other places people march, boycott, and petition the conscience of their respective representatives. No, what’s worse is the demonstrable fact: Our politicians, media figures, business and professional classes, military and police forces, and the courts are now, and have from the beginning been, actively aiding and abetting the slaughter.
Yes, we’re more than impotent in ending the horrors against Palestine; we are together complicit in its continuing. So, knowing that, what’s to be done?
Rabbi David Mivasair has provided spiritual care and guidance in his native United States and adoptive Canadian home for more than thirty years, both within and beyond the synagogue. He says for most of that time he was a “committed liberal or progressive Zionist”. One of the ways he now opposes the “premises of Zionism” is providing direct support to families in besieged Gaza through the Connecting Gaza project.
David is too active with Independent Jewish Voices Canada, and the American organization, Jewish Voice for Peace who say, “We envision a world where all people — from the U.S. to Palestine — live in freedom, justice, equality, and dignity.”

And; when it comes to fighting back against a rising sea of troubles we little people gotta get smart; smarter than smart. Maybe it’s time we talked about winning the fight for humanity with intelligence; artificial and otherwise.
David Rovics is an itinerant musician and prolific songwriter. He’s sat in, stood up, and faced down the powers that should not be on every issue of import you can imagine - on every continent save Antarctica - for longer than this benighted century. His mainly folk catalogue is hundreds of songs long, and his devoted fanbase hundreds of thousands deep; but now he risks it all, coming out of the closet with Ai Tsuno, his all too real AI collaborator.

But first, Rabbi David Mivasair, connecting with Gaza and remembering our battered better selves.
